Drawing a line
- Tap the Line tool.
- Tap the start point.
- Double-tap the endpoint.
Drawing a rectangle/polygon
- Tap the Rectangle/Polygon tool.
- Tap the start point
- Tap each vertex point
- Double-tap the start point to close the rectangle/polygon.
Drawing a circle
- Double-tap to create a circle.
Adjust the circle size by either:
- Tapping on the the circle's perimeter and dragging to the desired size.
- Entering the desired radius or diameter in Inspector Panel.
NOTE: You can move the circle and text annotation by dragging them around the map by touching and dragging at the center.
Adding and moving points
To adjust a measurement touch any point along the line, area, or radius, and drag to a new position.
If you have made a mistake, the easiest way to remove a point is to tap-select it, drag it first and then double-tap to remove it.
